I checked again with LOdev 3.5b2, clean install parallel to existing 3.4.3.
I included more detailed information that should allow easy reproduction of the
problems.
File - New - Label - Size
I created a new Label definition for my Hema 525 - 65x38mm A4 21-label sheet.
Upon searching the hard drive, I discovered that custom label definitions are
stored in UserDir\AppData\Roaming\...\user\registrymodifications.xcu. So,
that's one of my earlier questions answered. It'd appear that there is no
simple way to migrate/port custom label definitions to another LO installation,
or to share such definitions among multiple LO installations.
File - New - Label - Options
Next, I created a full page of labels (synced). New document. I filled the
label and synced the address across the sheet. The (calculated) dimensions of
the thus created page are: User-defined, 21.06cm, 29.92cm. In reality the sheet
is A4 size, which could lead to conflicts such as page overflow and/or possible
automatic resizing by the printer.
This full sheet printed correctly, no negative side effects wrt the incorrect
sheet dimensions. Nevertheless I propose that an extra parameter is added to
the Label Size dialogue: Sheet size. Any excess width or height calculated by
LO should be cut off in order to remove the potential paper size conflict.
Mailmerge address-database test
File - New - Label - New Document - Synced
Selected make: (my) Hema 525
F4 to open database-connection. Drag several Field names into first label, thus
creating the address. Add Field "Database, Next record". Sync labels. In the
database pane, scroll down, up and down all database records, otherwise not all
records will be caught. Select all records. Button: Merge to standard letter.
Step through the process with only one little filter to select the Xmas cards.
Step through until final step "Print merged document". Printing without
checking the printer settings, leads to default printer settings, in my case
double sided printing and last page first. As a result label sheets are first
turned over and the labels are printed on the wrong side. (!@#$% I forget that
every time)
If I do check the printer settings and disable double sided printing, then
oddly enough, additional blank pages are inserted between the label sheets, as
if extra page-feeds have been produced. Could it be that this is in fact the
page size conflict that I was referring to above?
File - Printer settings
If LO is able to negotiate settings with the printer, then it should try and
have double-sided printing disabled. This would prevent undesired results where
label sheets are first turned over and then printed on the wrong side.
